the threats to freedom

the threateners are threatening
freedom

unabridged desire
o the spirit howling
in the wilderness

like a beaver creasing the water
or an eagle sailing in slow circles
around the sun
bound to no one,
free to eat as much sugar
buy as many guns
shoot as many  bullets whereve wheneve howeve
free to get diabetes
free to be bad
free to be good

freedom is generous portions
its french fries with extra salt
the self determination to wear xxl shirts
its the love of the smell bbq in the summer
and a stack of pancakes at aunt jemimas house
in the winter

its threatened
the right to die of a heart attack alone in a pick up truck
is going to be taken away
its being regulated to death like the dodo birds were
like the sabertooth cat was not allowed to have fangs so long
because its too damn dangerous



they say that we are entering a new age
a new age of mass extinction

but its really a cover up
trying to distract us from recognizing

the extinction of life liberty and the american way
